The Daddy-long-legs Spider, Pholcus phalangioides, is found throughout Australia. It is a cosmopolitan species that originates from Europe and was introduced accidentally into Australia.
They are a regular feature inside the house where they usually end their life in the vacuum cleaner but at times we find them like this one outside where they are welcome to stay.
We have a lot in the house here - have really become more numerous in recent years. My OH wages war whereas I find them endearing and leave them be. In fact, just spotted one in the pantry where hopefully it will be safe from OH's attentions!
